time for some US company to get in on the deal and hire some guest artists to prep this thing up and sell it for double the price :P

I think he pitched them a while ago, he had trouble getting sound from one of the ears if I remember right. Probably really low grade copper or just a low strand count to cut corners. His player still works though so I don't know about the whole "FEAR CHINA" thing going on.

Also, if any of you would RTFA it's got a shot of the player from the side.

..along with dimensions. It's 85.5 x 54 x 4.5 mm, which puts it at nearly 6x the thickness of a credit card (as if any of us REALLY thought it would be cc thin?). And it weighs 20g.

For comparison, the shuffle is 41.2 x 27.3 x 10.5mm, and that's including the clip, which makes up approximately 1/2 the shuffle's thickness. And it only weighs 15.6g. So the shuffle is 1/4 the size, a tad over 2x the thickness including the clip, and it weighs less than this cc-sized player. Hardly seems like this "credit card sized" player is "bleeding edge" tech... ]]>Sep 26th 2007 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/credit-card-sized-mp3-player-ups-your-street-cred/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/credit-card-sized-mp3-player-ups-your-street-cred/Sep 25th 2007 7:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/credit-card-sized-mp3-player-ups-your-street-cred/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/credit-card-sized-mp3-player-ups-your-street-cred/Sep 25th 2007 7:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/credit-card-sized-mp3-player-ups-your-street-cred/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/credit-card-sized-mp3-player-ups-your-street-cred/Sep 25th 2007 7:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/credit-card-sized-mp3-player-ups-your-street-cred/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/credit-card-sized-mp3-player-ups-your-street-cred/Sep 28th 2007 11:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/credit-card-sized-mp3-player-ups-your-street-cred/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/credit-card-sized-mp3-player-ups-your-street-cred/

It's one thing to have a small mp3 player, but you still have to find room for the headphones.

What they really need is an mp3 player with built-in earbud storage, to keep the cables from tangling with stuff in your pocket.

...and I know there are many bluetooth headsets out there, but it's just not the same.]]>Sep 25th 2007 7:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/credit-card-sized-mp3-player-ups-your-street-cred/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/credit-card-sized-mp3-player-ups-your-street-cred/

you misunderstood me. if you read my entire comment (and not just scanning it and make a quick judgment), you will see that i said there are too many counterfeiters. China does have a bootlegging problem and many products sold in China are counterfeit products. Since i'm in the US and most products in US are made by US factories in China, the products here are not counterfeits. I've lived in China for nine years so i know what i'm talking about.]]>Sep 26th 2007 9:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/credit-card-sized-mp3-player-ups-your-street-cred/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/credit-card-sized-mp3-player-ups-your-street-cred/
